Blurring the sky... part 3
Well, I think i've got the technique sussed now so I need to devise a project that will benefit from this look. Its a bit eye-candy ish for me and it needs some subtlety and i'm torn between landscapes and buildings at the mo, neither of which are my main preference.... Most of the exposures i've been making are consistent at the moment due to the mad weather and cloud systems. It takes a while to tune in to the weather and i've spent the weekend boring the pants of my partner as i've been at pains to point out the shifting, pilowy cumulus (350ft) clouds against the more static, wispy cirrus (2700ft) formations. Did you know that there are hundreds of differing cloud types ? Neither did I until I started this project ! And thats the problem for me at the moment because i'm not a cloud-photographer but I like the effect that a long exposure has on them.
I mentioned previously that as part of being out and about in the landscape, I love the sense of movement and the changing moods of the weather, wind in the trees etc. and this has always been missing from my landscape pictures. All I need now is to forget about the technique and its effects and find a reason to photograph the land around me.... then i'll be happy !
